How and why we use your personal data

To process any orders that you make by telephone, email or in person. We need to collect your personal data, as we can’t process your order and comply with our legal obligations, e.g. your details may need to be passed to a third party to deliver the product and we may keep your details for a reasonable period afterwards in order to fulfil any contractual obligations such as refunds, guarantees etc.

To respond to your queries, refund requests and complaints. Handling the information you sent enables us to respond. We may also keep a record of these to inform any future communication with us and to demonstrate how we communicated with you throughout. We do this on the basis of our contractual obligations to you, our legal obligations and our legitimate interests in providing you with the best service and understanding how we can improve our services based on your experience.

To protect our business and your account from fraud and other illegal activities. This includes using your personal data to maintain, update and safeguard your account. We’ll do this on the basis of our legitimate interest.

To process payments and to prevent fraudulent transactions. We do this on the basis of our legitimate business interests.

With your consent, we will use your personal data, preferences and details of your transactions to keep you informed by email, online, text, telephone, post and through our office about relevant products and services including special offers, discounts, promotions, events, competitions and any changes to our hours of business etc. You are free to opt out of hearing from us by any of these channels at any time.

To send you communications required by law or which are necessary to inform you of our changes to the services we provide you. For example, updates to this Privacy Notice, product notices and legally required information relating to your orders. These service messages will not include any promotional content and do not require prior consent when sent by email or text message. If we do not use your personal data for these purposes, we would be unable to comply with our legal obligations.

To comply with our contractual or legal obligations to share data with law enforcement, e.g. when a court order is submitted to share data with law enforcement agencies or a court of law.

We limit the amount of personal data collected only to what is fit for the purpose. We restrict, secure and control all of our information assets against unauthorised access, whether physical or electronic. We retain personal data only for as long as required to respond to your requests, longer if required by law, or until your consent has been withdrawn. If we retain your personal data for historical or statistical purposes we ensure that the personal data cannot be used further.

Who do we share your personal data with?

We sometimes share your personal data with trusted third parties, e.g. delivery couriers, fraud management and to handle complaints. Here’s the policy we apply to those organisations to keep your data safe and protect your privacy:

We only provide the information they need to carry out their specific services.

They may only use your data for the exact purposes we specify in our contract with them.

We ensure that your privacy is respected and protected at all times.

If we stop using their services, any of your data held by them will either be deleted or rendered anonymous.

For fraud management, we may share information about fraudulent or potentially fraudulent activity in our premises or systems. This may include sharing about individuals with law enforcement bodies.

We may also be required to disclose your personal data to the police or other enforcement, regulatory or Government body upon a valid request to do so. These requests are assessed on a case-by-case basis and take the privacy of our customers into consideration.
